Contents 2 Things to talk about 2 Activity ideas 8 Chatterbooks double session plan, with a pirates theme 10 Pirates and perils quiz 11 Pirates and perils: great titles to read 17 More swashbuckling stories 2 Pirates and Perils of the Deep Chatterbooks Activity Pack Ideas for your Chatterbooks sessions Things to talk about What do you know about pirates? Get together a collection of pirate books – stories and non-fiction – so you’ve got lots to refer to, and plenty of reading for your group to share. If you have Savior Pirotta’s The Buccaneering Book of Pirates you could use the giant pop-up pirate from this book to get discussion going! On a flip chart collect the names of all the pirates you can think of – eg. Jack Sparrow! Are these pirates real people or fictional characters? What is a pirate? Are there still pirates today? What do they do? List all the things that come to mind when we say the word ‘pirate’ – eg. skull and cross-bones, parrot, wooden leg…. Talk about how realistic all these things might be – eg. some are fact, and some may have come from a memorable image in a story. Activity ideas Sea monsters Find out about a real sea monster, and a legendary monster. Write down three facts about each monster. Then create your own sea monster! Draw it in this frame below and label the parts of its body, saying what each part is used for – eg.’big swivelling eyes for 360 dgrees vision!’ Give it a name. A storm at sea! Make a collage picture of the wildest, scariest storm at sea! Raid your local scrap store, and get your group to bring in lots of different materials – e.g. scraps of material, silver & coloured foil, cellophane, old greetings cards, tissue paper, glitter, stars. And you’ll need card, paints, glue, felt tips. Collect together some words as well, to get you going – e.g. dark clouds, great waves, lightning flash….. You could make one big storm together, or each person could create their own picture. 3 Pirates and Perils of the Deep Chatterbooks Activity Pack Create your own pirate name Write down a list of all the pirate related words you can think of. Here are some examples that work well: Captain, Jolly, Peg Leg, Jack, Matey, Scallywag, Swashbuckler, Sparrow, Beard, Sea, Parrot, Cackle, Bloody, Stinky, Dead Man, Bones, Morgan, Sea Wolf Put them in a hat and then get each child to pick out two or three to create their own pirate name – e.g. ‘Jolly Sea Scallywag’ Ask children to draw a picture of themselves as a pirate using their name for inspiration. Stranded on a desert island Imagine you are a pirate, stranded on a desert island! Which three books would you like to have with you to read? Make a list or draw a picture of your three books. And which storybook characters would you like to be stranded with? Why would you choose them as your desert island companions? e.g. The Famous Five – because they would be good at making dens and solving mysteries! Some pirate necessities…. Pirate Hat To make a pirate hat there are good ideas online – here are two quite easy ones! Video showing how to make a simple black card hat, with skull and crossbones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vRyPXNenPQ Instructions for making a hat from folded newspaper http://www.uggabugga.com/Arts%20&%20Crafts/Origami/Origami%20- %20Hat%20Instructions.htm 4 Pirates and Perils of the Deep Chatterbooks Activity Pack Treasure Map Show your group pictures of treasure island maps in picture books, then let them have a go at drawing their own maps. Think about what features they could include – e.g. mountains, forests, swamp, river, desert etc. Give names to the features – e.g. ‘Whirlpool Cove’ – and to the island itself! Decide where the treasure is hidden and mark the spot with an X! To make your maps look old and crinkly: Wipe a wet tea bag over both sides of a sheet of paper to give it a brown effect. Let this dry, before drawing your map. Tear the edges to make the map look even more worn and aged. And after writing and drawing the map, it helps to make the ink look old by crumpling the paper. Dancing a hornpipe A hornpipe is a sailors’ dance which began around the 16th century on English ships. There are three main movements: "looking out to sea" with the right hand to the forehead, then the left Lurching from side to side as in heavy weather Giving the occasional rhythmic tug to their trousers! Get your group, in twos/threes, to make up their own hornpipe dance – you could bring in any dance music for this. It doesn’t have to be complicated – just fun! For some more ideas here’s an example on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_SLeDggKXA 5 Pirates and Perils of the Deep Chatterbooks Activity Pack Singing a sea shanty Sea shanties are songs sung by sailors – including pirates! – to get the crew working together in a rhythm on all the heavy tasks involved in sailing a large ship, including lots of pulling of ropes to hoist the sails up and get them down. Often the captain or the first mate would call out ‘Come men, can’t any of you sing? Sing now and raise the dead!’ Here is a well-known shanty: What shall we do with the drunken sailor? It would be good fun to learn it off by heart, and sing it all together. What do you think ‘up she rises’ means? And ‘make him bail her’? What shall we do with the drunken sailor, What shall we do with the drunken sailor, What shall we do with the drunken sailor, Early in the morning? Chorus: Hoo-ray and up she rises, Hoo-ray and up she rises, Hoo-ray and up she rises, Early in the morning. Put him in the long-boat and make him bail her, Put him in the long-boat and make him bail her, Put him in the long-boat and make him bail her, Early in the morning. Chorus: Hoo-ray and up she rises…. Then there are lots of lines to choose from for more verses, and more punishments for that drunken sailor! You can choose your favourites, or make up some of your own. Stick him in the crow's nest till he's sober Throw him in the bilge and make him drink it Put him in his cabin and stop his liquor Trice him up in a running bowline Take him and shake him and try and wake him Give him a taste of the bosun's rope end Hang him from the yard arm till he's sober Put him in the scuppers with a hosepipe on him 6 Pirates and Perils of the Deep Chatterbooks Activity Pack Wordsearch: Seek out these Perils of the Deep They’re nearly all real!
